We asked everyone how many times they’d like to wish Joel a happy birthday.

If it takes one second to say *happy birthday* once, it would take nearly 3169 millennia to properly deliver on these birthday wishes. This makes sense though, because 47% of Joel Affiliates endorsed the conspiracy that Joel is actually immortal. - Although more people gave Joel (compared to the goose) the edge in the Joel vs. Goose showdown, 82% of Joel Affiliates needed more information about the goose to answer the question. Future research must explore what specific goose-related information might drive this decision, and also why are geese so scary? - Joel is a very important part of many Joel Affiliates’ lives and (much like we describe Joel), we hope his birthday is remarkable, phenomenal, and sooooooooawesome! --- class: middle background-image: url(data:image/png;base64,#fig/lily.jpeg) background-position: right .pull-left[ # Happy Birthday, <br>.pink[Joel]! ]
